Troubleshooting Methods

This section describes the troubleshooting methods used in this chapter and describes how

Cisco uBR10012 routers are divided into subsystems for more efficient problem solving.

Before You Call for Technical Assistance

If you are unable to easily solve the problem, contact a customer service representative for assistance and further instructions. Provide the representative with the following information:

Date you received the router

Chassis serial number

Type of software and release number

Brief description of the problem you are having

Brief explanation of the steps you have taken to isolate and resolve the problem

Maintenance agreement or warranty information

Problem Solving Using a Subsystems Approach

The key to solving problems with the system is isolating the problem to a specific subsystem. Because a startup problem is usually caused by a single component, it is more efficient to first isolate the problem to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each component in the system. For these troubleshooting procedures, consider the following subsystems:

Power subsystem—Includes the power supply and the external power cable.

Processor subsystem—Includes the network processing card, the modular port adapter, the service module, and the fixed RF ports. The system memory and management functions reside on the network processing card, and the enabled LED on each port indicates if the port is initialized. A port adapter that is partially installed in the router can cause the system to hang and crash.

Cooling subsystem—Includes the fans.

The following sections help you isolate a problem to one of these subsystems and direct you to the appropriate troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting Installation Problems

This section contains general troubleshooting information to help you solve any problems you might encounter during the installation of the system.
